Hot Seat

Upon your arrival, you will have a briefing with your Instructor going over all aspects of the helicopter and what you will be achieving in your lesson. You will then fly with your instructor to our low-flying area, where you will learn about the basic controls of the helicopter while learning how to hover. When you get the controls figured out, you will then fly over the local area, while having a bit of a scenic look over Wānaka.

During your lesson you will also learn some basic components of flying including other factors you would need to consider when flying, such as weather, radio calls, and other aircraft. You will then make your way back to the airfield to shut down and have a debriefing.

This is a great gift idea for someone who loves flying and who has always wanted to experience flying a helicopter.
